Senior student director Mia Morneault says how much she’s enjoyed working with the cast and crew. “I am very proud of all the cast and crew who worked as hard on it as I have. A lot of people care about [this show],” Morneault said. “I have a lot of friends on the cast and on the crew, but I’ve also grown and gained friendships through the show, even as director where I may be a little more stricter than normal. And I am very grateful for everyone I’ve gotten to work with.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/DSC_0657-1200x800.jpg)

Kato’s painting is a political piece inspired by a photo of elementary schoolers in the street protesting against ICE. “I think it's also symbolic because they're surrounded by snow, which can represent ICE, and they are still marching,” Kato said. “[The kids] are not stopping until equality or justice is served, which I think is really important to represent and show.” Photo by John Pinion](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-03-26-114740.png)

Yearbook won 43, newspaper won 14 and broadcast took home nine. “I think [the ILPC awards] are a great way to give the kids some acknowledgement for all of their hard work,” newspaper and yearbook adviser Paige Hert said. “They typically spend the year covering everyone else’s big moments, so it’s really cool for them to be celebrated so many times and in so many different ways.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/edited-ILPC.jpg)

The varsity baseball team played in the bi-district round of playoffs against the Boerne Greyhounds April 30-May 2, where they won Game 1 6-4, lost Game 2 2-1 and won the last game 5-2, allowing them to advance to area. “Honestly, [my favorite] big moment that wasn't even part of my moment was Dom's grand slam,” Cuevas said. “That was a big game changer in Game 1 of round one that ultimately helped us win that game and even move on. It set the tone for the games after and has really impacted and sparked this whole playoff run.” Photo by Allie Tseng](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/allie-boerne00159-1200x800.jpg)

Hill rushed for three touchdowns in the 43-36 loss against Frisco Wakeland last Friday, but the Timberwolves were eliminated from playoff contention. “[I’m] just happy I got to experience the game with my brothers,” Hill said. “I’m going to remember how close and how enjoyable everything was with these guys. They are my brothers for life. Just waking up and grinding together, and proving the naysayers wrong [was my favorite part].”

Hobbit: Battle of Five Armies Review
January 21, 2015
Movie: The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies
Director: Peter Jackson
Release Date: December 17, 2014
Rating: 8.5/10
In the Battle of Five Armies, Bilbo Baggins and the company of Dwarves go to war in order to keep the Lonely Mountain from the evil that wish to take it. While protecting the Lonely Mountain, Thorin and the Dwarves search frantically for the King’s jewel, the Arkenstone. The story opens with the people of Laketown trying to flee the wrath of Smaug the dragon. After the chaos, the Murkwood Elves and the people of Laketown beg for their share of the treasure from the Dwarves. The Dwarves deny their share and they prepare to lay siege on the Lonely Mountain. Then the forces of evil intervene and the armies unite to defend the treasure. All the forces of Middle Earth gather at the Lonely Mountain and are forced to fight together against the growing darkness.
Based on the book, by J.R.R. Tolken, “The Hobbit” movie trilogy draws to a close with the final installment of the prequel to The Lord of the Rings trilogy released in 2001. This film incorporates the characters from the previous movies and introduces new characters such as Dain and his army from the Iron Hills. I gave this movie 8.5 out of 10 mostly because it was the final installment of The Hobbit movie trilogy; and it being the last, the director obviously made it grander, with more action and a lot more in-depth fight scenes involving all the main characters. Also, the way each scene focuses on the important aspects of the main book plot, while still changing some details, makes the audience sit on the edge of their seats. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and definitely recommend it to everyone that enjoys action, romance, and to fans of the previous two Hobbit movies.
